Can't Take My Eyes Off You Chapter 517 - In Your Heart

Chapter 517: In Your Heart

“Wait, so you got angry just because I had a small chat with Du Chen? Captain Lu, who would’ve thought you are such a petty man!” Jiang Yao said, in between fits of laughter. “That’s all, it was just small talk! Plus, I was looking at you most of the time, why didn’t you notice?”

“Is Du Chen good-looking?” Lu Xingzhi suddenly asked.

He did not really want to know if Du Chen was an attractive person, Jiang Yao thought. He just wanted to know if he was the better-looking one among the two.

Du Chen’s skin tone was of a paler shade, probably due to his indoor lifestyle. And with him in a wheelchair, he gave off a sickly vibe.

Even though he was born and raised in Jindo City, his facial features tended toward the handsomeness commonly found among people from the South.

Jiang Yao shook her head, he was not the type of person she would find attractive.

“I think you’re how an attractive man should look,” Jiang Yao admitted.

Lu Xingzhi eyed Jiang Yao for a few seconds, and nodded in satisfaction after he deemed what she said to be genuine.

That was the cue for Jiang Yao to up her ante.

“I like you exactly the way you are! Look at Du Chen, he’s too weak and frail! You are the most attractive man in the whole world, I am never falling for anyone else again!”

It felt corny but these were genuinely her own feelings, even though she felt a little strange to be so open with her emotions.

Lu Xingzhi’s lips curled upward into a smile. It was evidence that his bad mood was all but gone.

“Why did you want to help Du Chen?” He did not forget his question. “He’s not attractive, why did you still help him?”

Jiang Yao laughed and laid her head on Lu Xingzhi’s chest. “So, that means I can only help someone if they’re good-looking? I suppose his frailty stirred the physician’s conscience in me.”

She thought her reply was ridiculous and laughed for another few seconds before continuing, “I applaud his ruthlessness toward himself, giving up his legs for his grandfather’s life, that’s why I want to help him. Moreover, it’s an easy job for me.”

Du Chen’s affair was the result of Jiang Yao’s spontaneous decision.

There really was no reason for her to help him. If she were pressed for one, perhaps she got too bored waiting for Lu Xingzhi and nonchalantly mentioned it to Du Chen.

Yet, she did not expect the intense jealousy from Lu Xingzhi from her small talk with Du Chen.

She felt his possessiveness for her, dogged and persistent.

“Remember what you said, that you’ll never fall for someone else.” Lu Xingzhi happily patted Jiang Yao’s head. “I’ll not control your affairs, you’re free to do whatever you desire.”

He then kissed her on the lips and placed her on the couch and left for the kitchen to prepare lunch.
